Here’s a scary example of how much your mobile knows about you.
‘The results were astounding. In a six-month period — from Aug 31, 2009, to Feb. 28, 2010, Deutsche Telekom had recorded and saved his longitude and latitude coordinates more than 35,000 times. It traced him from a train on the way to Erlangen at the start through to that last night, when he was home in Berlin.
‘Mr. Spitz has provided a rare glimpse — an unprecedented one, privacy experts say — of what is being collected as we walk around with our phones. Unlike many online services and Web sites that must send “cookies” to a user’s computer to try to link its traffic to a specific person, cellphone companies simply have to sit back and hit “record.”…’

Media Matters Declares ‘War’ on Fox News
The liberal group wants to sabotage and discredit Fox.
‘The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel.
‘The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks and is narrowing its focus to Fox and a handful of conservative websites, which its leaders view as political organizations and the “nerve center” of the conservative movement.

Shoulder Pain Tip
A habit of lying down sideways can injure your shoulder if your bed isn’t soft enough.
I doubt that I have shoulder arthritis since I do regular upper-body exercise and have no problem with my diet. I don’t suspect tendinitis too since I didn’t have any left shoulder injuries. Then I realized that the way I lie down in bed might have caused the problem. I have the habit of lying down on my left side and moving while reading. The problem is that I don’t like and use soft mattress and my shoulder is heavy so I probably injured my shoulder that way.
As bad as Fox News is, I don’t see it as any worse than CNN. CNN is the place that started the careers of Lou Dobbs, and Glen Beck. They still have that loony Nancy Grace on every night, and their quality of reporting is generally terrible.
Then CNN is lucky to have Anderson.
I’ve just read and commented about the funny Grace show lol
